Reports that former White House adviser Michael Flynn was part of a plot to force a Muslim clergyman to Turkey in exchange for millions of dollars are completely false.
The Turkish Embassy in Washington said the charges are completely groundless and malicious. The debate began when former CIA director James Wolsey spoke of a $15m plan to return to Turkey cleric Fetullah Gulen.
Turkey accuses Gulen of being “trur” after the failed coup in July 2016 and through a press release, the Turkish Embassy in Washington said the Turkish people are awaiting its extradition from the US to be tried.
But according to the Embassy, accusations that Turkey will use means outside those legal for his extradition are false, ridiculous and completely groundless. The claims were also rejected by Michael Flynn, who through his lawyer said that these are slander.
But according to “Wall Street Journal”, Flynn, who left his post after lying about meetings with a Russian official, had discussed transporting Gulen on a private jet to Imrali, a Turkish prison island. Former CIA chief Wolsey also spoke of a meeting of Flynn in September 2016 with Turkish officials, during which the possibility of sending Gulen to Truqi was suggested.
